Now that our school has the new Macbook laptops, the tech center wanted to make the printing system a bit more secure. They will now be tracking what everyone prints, and how many papers are printed. In my opinion, this has some positive and negative affects.
The process is much more complex this year. Every time someone prints an assignment, they will have to bring their laptop to the tech office, and go through the whole process on a touch screen. It takes much longer than how it worked last year.
There are some positives to the new printing system. Now that everyone has to sign in before his or her paper is printed, no one would be able to print inappropriate papers without getting caught.
I think the new printing system is an overall good change, but I don’t think people will get used to it in a while from now. At first it will seem very confusing, so that is the down side.
